Art Spectrum Colourfix Coated Pastel Paper Packs

It's called "Colourfix" for the obvious reason. This very permanent, lightfast coated paper withstands all manner of artistic experimentation (and even punishment).

These papers are used successfully in practically all media — pastels, charcoal, pencil, oils, acrylic, gouache, inks, silverpoint, and even watercolor. The natural toothy surface is ideal for pastels, pencil, or charcoal, as it will hold multiple overlays of color without the need to fix between layers.

The absence of fixative allows the velvet bloom and vibrant color of pastel to be preserved. (Apply a final light spray of fixative if desired.)

Rainbow Pack — Includes all 20 colors in the Colourfix line in a 9" × 12" (229 mm × 305 mm) sheet pack.

Handling Charge — When ordering sheets of paper or board larger than 18” x 24” in quantities of less than 10, a $3.00 per order handling fee applies. Paper or boards may be assorted to reach the quantity of 10.

I recently discovered this product and immediately came to appreciate them for both my oil pastels and pastel pencil work. The pre-toned colours are a perfect selection to fit my needs and the textured grit is excellent to grasp the sketching graphite yet still cleanly erase when needed without loss of texture. The necessary application and blending required with pastels is quickly accomplished and held allowing for further layering.
